Previously…
Dojeonggung Ha-Jeon Lee has already gathered soldiers
behind your back for their conspiracy, my King!
Byung-Woon Kim isn't over yet.
Byung-Woon Kim's will not perish.
I am certain.
I've found her.
I've found your mother.
No matter how hard a man tries,
destiny always prevails.
No matter what my destiny says,
I will stay by Bong-Ryun and protect her
with my last breath.
Forgive me.
My son Jae-Hwang's trustworthy person!
They will never know of our newly found hope.
Look at this child.
He reminds me of Ha-Jeon.
I will make this child the next king in place of Ha-Jeon!
That man claims Yeongungun has potential to be King.
A king's destiny is the destiny of the people...
that he has read the fate of the people.
The whole country will be sick with disease!
Let go of me!
We must...
Protect this place...
Chun-Jung Choi has brought upon this plague!
We must exile them outside the soogoo gate and quarantine them.
How could you possibly do this?
Master Choi did not spread the disease!
And how could you send the patients outside the soogoo gate?
Are you planning on letting them die?
I, Pal-Yung Yong, have found the biggest land in Hanyang,
to quarantine these people!
Hurray! Hurray!
If you just tell me what I want to hear,
I will give you the princess.
How is it that I have given you a command,
yet this child is still alive?
Please let me live, my Lord!
Lord Byung-Woon Kim and you, Lord Byung-Hak Kim,
Are destined to be opposites and enemies.
But there is a way.
You must make the right decision.
Episode 14
Now that the plague has settled,
under this beautiful weather and breeze.
This drink taste like honey
wouldn't this taste better with a friend to share with?
Have I been chosen to be your drinking friend, my Lord?
Jubung A drinking friend
Exactly! You have been chosen!
Let the chosen one pour you a drink.
Good idea.
What could he possibly want to treat me like this...
Has the King fainted again during the ritual?
Yes, his body is failing him, it's becoming very serious.
Since the King doesn't have a successor,
shouldn't the king's relatives with children hurry to gather votes?
With 10 people there are 10 opinions, it's difficult to agree.
What could be so difficult?
Rather it be 10 or 100 people,
isn't it obvious that the most promising candidate is in your family?
Sawang The King’s successor
I don't understand...
I am saying that I'm interested in your son.
Let me see...
You have your son,
and my daughter is a polite virgin...
Maybe we wed them, and further discuss opportunities?
If it is your daughter,
I could run outside in my socks to escort her as my superior!
If my son-in-law becomes the next king,
my daughter wouldn't be your superior, my son-in-law would be the supreme!
Cheers! Cheers!
Byung-Hak Kim has taken the bait.
The tides are slowly turning in my favor.
This also proves there is internal conflict within the Kim-Moon family!
Have we received all of the birth date letters for potential husbands?
Yes, the Gwansanggam is checking their signs and readings.
Husbands?
Are you saying that I am to be wed?
Yes, we have already released an official statement to the nation.
We have a chart for potential candidates.
Queen Mother, I do not wish to be marry.
That is nonsense!
Queen Jo Queen Mother Hyoyu
Marriage is a significant part of any human's life,
moreover it is your duty as princess.
Is this because of that lowly fortune teller Chun-Jung Choi?
Have you also been seduced by his snake like tongue?
No, Chun-Jung Choi has not made any mistakes towards me.
My Queen Mother, Chun-Jung Choi is...
Stop speaking of this madness and leave.
And you better take care of yourself, do you understand?
I see that you are very urgent to speak with me.
What is on your mind?
This time,
I will make sure you are wed to a great family.
Cheoljong 25th King of the Joseon Dynasty
Keep that in mind.
As your daughter, I have a request.
Alright, I am listening.
I...
Want Chun-Jung Choi.
I want to Marry Chun-Jung Choi.
What are you talking about?
My father, do you truly believe,
my marriage will proceed smoothly and safely?
Do you think the Kim-Moons will let me marry without them?
I will be sent to where Jwa-Keun Kim and Byung-Woon Kim want me to be.
I will never allow that to happen!
The pain of not being able to stay with someone you love,
you know this better than anyone.
I was born destined to love one man and one man only.
If I cannot be with Chun-Jung Choi,
I will be unhappy for the rest of my life.
Please, send me off to Chun-Jung Choi.
My father...
This is my only wish.
Show your respects to the Queen Mother.
My Queen Mother, I am In-Gyu Chae of the Ministry of Justice.
Aren't you the vulgar brute working for the Kim-Moons,
that kidnapped the princess in the past!
How dare you come to me!
Yes, my Queen Mother.
I was trying to protect the princess from associating
with the lowly fortune teller.
Queen Mother, please listen to what I have to say.
Fine, you may speak.
I have known the princess since a very young age,
I will take care of her like no other,
Please give me...
What?
Have I ever seen such an arrogant man!
What are you waiting for! Remove him!
Yes, Queen Mother.
Queen Mother, I may not be worthy,
but please give me the princess!
Allow me to become the son-in-law, Queen Mother!
- His name is In-Gyu Chae? - Yes.
Find out more about him.
If he really knew the princess from a young age,
and also about his family and reputation, I want to know everything.
Yes, Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother doesn't consider any of the candidates yet,
I can become a candidate.
I have a chance.
I also have the Kim-Moons backing me up.
Mother! Are you alright?
I, your son, will enter!
Move aside, I will see my mother.
She has denied you from entering.
Mother, are you alright?
I said don't come in!
Mother, I heard it was a mysterious disease...
I am just worried...
Why are you so annoying? I said do not enter!
You are exactly the same as your father.
You have the exact traits of
the impatient middle class Chae Family!
Get out of here!
Are you alright?
Mother... Mother...
Take care of yourself, my young Lord.
That is when I decided,
I will always have Bong-Ryun by my side.
I will never let Chun-Jung Choi take you away from me.
What?
Something wrong?
Goodness, how am I suppose to act like I don't know?
If you don't want to tell me, don't.
It has to do with the princess...
There looking for husband candidates,
she's official announced to be wed.
Almost every noble family has sent in their birth date letters.
Are you okay?
I've always known this day would come.
Let's go, the patients are waiting.
- Have some rice cakes. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Have some rice cakes.
My Lord, welcome.
Master, good to see you.
Good work everyone.
Master.
You're doing great.
Master, is he something wrong?
He dosen't look too good.
Any rice cakes left?
- I'm hungry. - Here.
Where are you going by yourself with that sword?
To Jwa-Keun Kim's residence.
I've left Bong-Ryun by herself too long.
I will risk my life to bring her here.
I knew you would say that.
If you wield a sword with impatience and clouded judgement,
Chi-Seong Yeon
the sword will betray and cut you.
You must stop.
If I don't do this,
I will regret it for the rest of my life.
I have made up my mind,
Please move aside.
Master!
- My Lord! - What's wrong?
I came out of the bathroom to find this...
Isn't that a letter tied to the arrow?
Si Gan Gye Seo A letter delivered on an arrow
My Lord, do not be impatient.
I will make an opportunity.
Thursday, 5 in the afternoon, come to Lord Yeoungun-gun's residence.
Is this a letter from the princess?
She is a profound and strategic woman,
I shouldn't act independently and wait for her.
Why, What's wrong?
The Princess...
What a disgraceful human you are.
You put on the mask of a loyal friend and tricky tongue,
but in true you have been working as In-Gyu Chae's spy.
My Princess... I've been...
You deserve nothing less than death by my hands right now.
I've been...
What? You wish to extend your abominable life?
Do you wish to be with your Lord, In-Gyu?
My princess...
My 7 year old daughter and old mother has been taken hostage!
You must be well aware of the kind of man In-Gyu Chae is!
If I act irrationally he would kill my family with no hesitation.
I could not tell Lord Chun-Jung,
nor could I just give up and die.
This is actually better.
This whole time has been like torture to me.
My Princess, please kill me!
He is a man capable of betrayal,
who knows when I will betray him again in different circumstances?
- Lower your sword. - But my Princess!
I will trust and give you one last opportunity.
Are you willing?
Pardon me?
You must not tell In-Gyu Chae.
Can you promise this?
Yes, yes, anything... I will do anything.
The ceremony department has sent final 4 candidates.
I've seen them.
Lord vice prime minister
3 out of 4 are from the Jangdong Kim-Moons,
and the other, a inferior family...
They might as well tell us to send her to the Kim-Moon family.
Simam Du-Sun Jo The first vice premier
Although they claim to have been chosen blindly...
The court is run by the Kim-Moons,
we cannot assume fair play.
We are merely desperate for a successor.
Queen Mother, your responsibilities are overwhelming.
Perhaps you might have someone in mind?
In fact I do.
Princess.
Are you alright?
How have you been?
Were you worried about me?
Let us goin.
Princess, what a surprise.
Please sit, Lord Yeoungun-gun.
Yes.
The Queen Mother has been worried about you,
I have come to check on you.
I am completely restored.
But, why is this man here with you?
I was not able to introduce myself properly to you last time in the palace.
Lord Young Eun, you are destined to do great things in the future.
Fortune tellers can be very useful.
There is no harm in getting to know one.
Sure.
Is that...
Skin disease I see?
Must be from the poisonous lacquer tree.
Have a look at this.
This is exactly the same as our deceased Dojeonggung.
Fortune teller Jin Song has gone back to Mt. Gyeryong
Pardon me?
I've been told by Lord Byung-Hak.
Yes, yes.
I see that you must recover more, please excuse me.
Let us meet again.
What an insolent man.
He just shows up and leaves as he pleases.
You're right.
He is a rude but honest,
gifted but pure man.
He is a very worthy person,
you should be relieved to have met him.
Even if you don't understand.
What?
That child knows of Jin Song's death.
He's definitely been secretly meeting with Byung-Woon Kim.
Which would mean that child is...
Most likely a fake.
Yes.
But how would we prove this?
His hand...
He had the same birth mark as Dojeonggung.
What he claimed to have been poisoning?
Could it be...
My princess, we must leave now.
There are many watching eyes.
Alright.
My Lord, I will escape the Kim-Moon house.
How can I help?
Let me help you.
Somehow I will reach out to you.
Please come to Lord Haok's residence.
Understood.
My princess.
My King,
You're looking healthy,
I am very happy to see recovering.
Yes... How about you Prime Minister?
Haok Jwa-Keun Kim Prime minister
You mustn't worry about an old man such as I.
My King,
I am here because,
the royal palace is due for an important ceremony,
I wish to congratulate you.
You speak of the princess' wedding?
Do you think the Kim-Moons will let me marry without them?
I will be sent to where Jwa-Keun Kim and Byung-Woon Kim want me to be.
I will never allow that to happen!
We have not even gone through the 3 stage process yet.
Samgantaek A 3 step process of choosing a spouse for a king, prince, or princess.
What's the point of the 3 stage process?
Just decide on
Hwasa Byung-Woon Kim The minister of Finance
Kim-Moon's Jung-Duck Kim's third son, Sang-Guk.
What?
Jung-Duck's third son...
A few months ago he fell off his camel,
he is paralyzed and barely even alive!
How could I marry the princess to him!
Have you thought about the country's future after you die?
Bungeo A King’s death
Watch your mouth.
Please reconsider, my King.
Listen to my advice,
how can a powerless King rule his people,
how can a deceased father,
secure a good future for his children?
You dare hurt the princess after my death?
You dare to threaten me!
You must make a wise decision.
[iQIYI Ver] CSTV E14 'Wind and Cloud and Rain' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
My King...
The Kim-Moon Family
must not harm the princess in any way.
I will consider your opinions.
Now leave.
Yes, my King.
Please take care of your health.
Jwa-Keun Kim and Byung-Woon Kim visited the palace, at this time?
It is very obvious why.
Myeong Yak Gwan Hwa Seeing clearly as if looking at fire
They've gone to threaten the King.
Chun-Jung Choi was seen visiting Yeoungun-gun.
He also secretly met with the princess but,
she had a guard with her, we couldn't hear anything.
He must be finding a solution for Yeoungun-gun.
Chun, follow Chun-Jung closely.
I want detailed reports.
Yes, sir.
Chun-Ha-Jang-Ahn, listen to me,
to the world,
you were considered murders, criminals, and scumbags.
I have taken the four of you in because,
under extreme circumstances, extreme strategies
and extreme measures must be taken.
The path of both good and evil, is the path for Jae-Hwang.
I will use you as my hands and feet to
perform all acts of terror.
I will take control of the royal palace,
in order to save our people.
I will take all the blood and blame for this country.
You must help me,
and devote your lives to me.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir!
My King, did you wish to see me?
When I was new to Ganghwa,
Chodong A child tasked with gathering firewood
I was also a young naive King.
That is when I met your father, he was a military officer.
Yes, my King.
Your father was great at martial arts and very special,
he had the power to win people's hearts.
He had no greed and was all around outstanding.
Even a king could be jealous of
such an incredible man.
You remind me very much of
Kyung Choi when he was a young man.
You grace me, my King.
The Princess Hwa-Ryun...
I leave Bong-Ryun to you.
You must give her your fullest,
and protect her.
This is a command from your King.
Words cannot describe my gratitude...
My King.
What is happening?
Who has summoned this child to our home?
We thought it was you, father.
What is going on, father?
I have summoned him.
Everyone seated here is
very important to my future.
Before I am to be wed and leave this house,
I will like to serve some tea.
Have you gone mad?
Go ahead.
I have prepared something special for young Lord Yeoungun-gun.
Thank you.
This will hurt, it's mixed glacial acetic acid and water!
What are you doing, princess!
This birth mark was made with dye to cover up his
peasant status and scared brand.
The potent dye must have caused this skin disease.
Lord Hwasa,
How dare you fabricate a King's relative and attempt to deceive
the real relatives, the council, the crown and all of the citizens?
Should I tell everyone?
Even the mighty Kim-Moon Family
will not be able to survive this.
What is she saying?
Did you...
Did you really fabricate his entire background?
If I kill that peasant Yeoungun-gun,
Then what would I have to worry about?
Within the next hour,
One Sijin 2 hours
if this child isn't seen at the ferry port,
My people will go to the Queen Mother and council.
Accompanying them will be his peasant birth mother.
After investigating Jin Song's death,
we found his mother.
But, do not worry, my Lord.
Your treacherous ploy to fabricate a fake king,
I won't mention it to anyone.
What do you want, Princess?
In exchange!
I will leave this house.
No one should try to stop me.
Just let me leave in peace.
That will never happen!
Shut your mouth.
Father!
I said shut your mouth!
This could cause the end of our entire family!
Myeol Mun Ji Hwa A great disaster to kill everyone in a household
If anyone finds out about this incident...
Then...
you may kill me.
You can kill me as you please anyways, no?
But you will not have to do so.
I don't have any intentions of ruining this family,
or seeking revenge.
All I want is...
My freedom...
My Lord.
Stop!
What are you doing!
Lord!
Lord Haok has given me his word!
Let me leave.
Let go of Bong-Ryun.
Stab me.
By your sword Bong-Ryun and I will both die.
Coming this far, now I know...
How deep my feelings are for her!
Watching Bong-Ryun run to you...
I'd rather kill her.
You cannot do this.
Don't, don't do it.
Don't!
I don't care if you kill me,
but,
Please do not hurt Bong-Ryun.
You cannot come back from that.
You will regret it.
Even at this moment, you are self righteous.
Why do you always speak down it me?
Every single time!
You take everything that I want first!
Kill Chun-Jung Choi!
Kill him!
No!
- But, sir... - What are you waiting for!
Stop!
Bong-Ryun...
Rather it be love,
or obsession,
I don't care.
Your feelings
solely belong to you.
But don't let your emotions
hurt other's lives... my life...
Don't interfere with my life!
Shoot.
Shoot me!
Bong-Ryun!
Shoot me.
- Shoot me! - Bong-Ryun!
Sir!
I've shot him...
My lieutenante!
Sir!
I…
I... I killed In-Gyu Chae...
I've killed In-Gyu Chae...
Do not worry...
I am here for you.
I will always be here for you.
It's alright...
It's all over.
Hey boatman,
I am counting on you.
Don't worry.
You look familiar.
Am I mistaken?
Now, leave in peace!
Let's go.
My goodness, mother! Mother, are you alright?
I am so sorry.
My sweet Dal-Nim, how are you?
You missed me right?
My Princess...
Did you leave in peace?
Thank you for keeping your word.
It's fine...
The Princess saved my family
from In-Gyu Chae's captivity.
How will I repay...
How can I repay you...
I didn't do it alone.
Our Lord helped us.
Pardon me?
He already knew.
He knew you were meeting with In-Gyu.
Please kill me, my Lord.
Forget it.
I'm glad your family is safe.
How can you be so forgiving?
As if nothing happened? How can you be so calm?
You're the only person who remembers my father like I do.
You are my friend.
I don't ever want to lose my friends and family again.
Moving forward, be honest with me,
can you do that?
My Lord…
My Lord!
What are you talking about?
Yeoungun-gun's birth is suspicious?
He's not Hoepyeong-gun's child? He's born a peasant?
Lord Hang-ro Lee himself is worried
because the king's relative who introduce Yeoungun-gun,
has gone missing.
How could you believe them so easily?
How... How could this be...
Queen Mother, Lord Heungseon-gun is here to see you.
You may leave now.
What brings you here at this hour?
I have something very special for you, my Queen Mother.
Although the hour is late, I came as fast as I could.
Something special?
What... What is this?
Is there anyone outside!
Queen Mother...
Move aside!
Everyone leave us...
Yes, ma'am.
Heungseon-gun, what in the world is this?
The fraud who called himself Yeoungun-gun.
This is Lee Min the peasant's arm.
Now open your eyes.
Your desperation is what actually killed Dojoenggung.
Your selfish ways of following your heart,
has brought such a swindler into this very palace.
If this fraud had actually risen to the throne,
how could you handle the sins and face
our previous kings, ancestors, and our people?
What is this?
A check for 100,000 coins.
What?
I know the palace is in financial turmoil and
the King lacks private property.
If you decide to work with me and found a new king,
in time I will confiscate everything from the Kim-Moon Family,
and dedicate everything...
to you, my Queen Mother.
Hurray! Hurray!
Hurray for Master Choi! Hurray!
With all due respect,
I am not the one who saved you all today!
How could I take credit for saving your lives,
when I am so unworthy and untalented?
You were all saved by the true man, sent down from the skies!
True man?
As the prophecy for the people and country once said:
Jeonggamnok A famous Joseon prophecy highly spoken of by common folk
The true man arrives in the Year of the Pig,
and in the Year of the Rat, he grafts the plum tree.
This year is the year of the Pig,
A King worthy man will appear,
and next year, the Year of the Rat, a new King will reign!
That man has helped me,
thus everyone was able to be saved!
- Who is this man? - Who is he?
Who could he possibly be?
This child here, is the true man sent from the skies!
Through this person, all of you have kept your lives.
Right here, stands the new King!
He is everyone's new King!
Hurray! Hurray!
Hurray for the new King! Hurray!
Hurray! Hurray!
Hurray for the new King! Hurray!
Why do you...
Why do you have your arm around my son?
Queen Mother.
Please take my hand.
Together,
all the money and power,
will become yours, my Queen Mother.
After hearing that you would be coming,
I washed all the sheets but...
These are nothing like the silk blankets you are used to...
I am fine.
I like it here more than the luxurious Kim-Moon's residence.
Have a nice rest.
Are you sure you're okay here?
Can I finally rest by your side?
From now on, your home is by my side.
From now on...
The fear of my loved one's getting hurt,
or dying...
I don't want to worry anymore...
I want to live free.
Am I allowed to?
You've suffered a long time.
I am sorry.
I am truly sorry.
And I truly...
Love you more than my own life.
You fool.
You should be grateful that I am not exiling you to Ganghwa.
Since you are injured,
I have promoted a new captain.
Let that sink in.
My Lord.
What could you possibly do for me,
now that the princess is gone?
Welcome!
Welcome, Master.
You're here, Master Choi.
No matter what I don't think you should go to that house by yourself.
Byung-Woon Kim certainly,
could be planning a final attack, such as an assassination against Heungseon-gun.
I must mentally attack Jwa-Keun Kim.
If I can plant a great fear in his heart, he won't plan a retaliation.
I am the only person,
capable of doing this.
Because in their hearts, they believe I am Joseon's finest fortune teller.
Seriously?
What are you doing here?
I finally get to introduce myself to our nation's
greatest prime minister, Lord Haok.
I heard you have written some strange words for us.
I was planning on inviting you here,
do a fortune telling, just for fun.
You don't have time for casually doing anything or joking around.
What did you say?
I am here to kill you.
You don't have time for casually doing anything or joking around.
What did you say?
I am here to kill you.
Is there anyone outside!
- Anyone! - Calm yourself.
You must make a wise decision, my Lord.
